Have you ever compromised on sleep to make more time for work or leisure?

And contrary to popular belief, sleep is not merely a time of rest but an essential ingredient for optimal learning.

Since 2018, I’ve explored neuroscience, brain research, and cognitive psychology, driven by my mission to help people learn smarter. I gave a TEDx talk on learning and shared how-to guides for applying learning science to reading, online courses, websites for learning, and knowledge management.

In this article, you’ll learn why sleep matters for your memory and discover practical strategies to optimize your sleep and harness your brain’s maximum capabilities.
